It appears that /var/lib/opkg is now empty and the package database is no longer supplied with the SDK. I know about the new-style populate_sdk and the even newer Extensible SDK, but not yet ready to convert our old use cases to that. Since there were lots of changes around the way SDKs work in OE-Core in the past couple releases, I'm failing to find the change that causes opkg DB to be missing from the old style SDK. I'll appreciate any pointers in helping me debug and/or fix this issue with my SDKs. Thanks. -- Denys
